About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the attendant: ‘Why does that old truck always honk its horn when it pulls up?’ The attendant shrugged and said he had no idea. The next day, another customer noticed and joked, ‘Maybe it’s saying “Fill me up!”’ Soon enough, everyone started greeting the truck with friendly waves, and the whole neighborhood was talking about the talkative rig. Turns out, the delivery driver just loved Shell so much he couldn’t help but honk his horn in appreciation.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Shell station one afternoon, frowning as he noticed an old pickup truck parked nearby. The truck’s engine was off, but its horn began honking intermittently—just loud enough for everyone inside to hear. The delivery driver looked around curiously, then shrugged and walked over to the truck. He peered inside—and found a sleepy-looking neighbor waving at him from behind the wheel. 'What the heck?' asked the driver, smiling. 'I thought you were stuck or something!' The neighbor yawned, stretched, and replied, ‘Nah, just wanted to say hello.’
3. While filling up at the Shell station, an older gentleman turned to his friend and said, 'I wonder if they ever clean those windshield wipers?' His friend laughed and replied, ‘They must do something, or else how would they get rid of all that bird poop?’ The two men shared a hearty laugh, and as the younger one paid for gas, he glanced up at the smiling attendant and winked—maybe Shell did more than just sell fuel after all.
4. While pumping gas at the Shell station, a young man exclaimed, 'I can’t believe I just saw a squirrel running across the road!' The attendant smiled and replied, 'Oh, you must’ve seen Fluffy.' The young man laughed, ‘Fluffy, huh? That’s quite a name for a city squirrel!’ The attendant nodded knowingly. A few minutes later, an older gentleman pulled up and asked, ‘Is that your famous squirrel still around?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the attendant said, ‘Yep, Fluffy never misses a day.’
